Sermons of the Confederacy 1861-1862 Dr William Peters

Sermons of the Confederacy 1861-1862, edited by Dr. William G. Peters, is the first volume in a collection of sermons by Southern ministers, bishops, priests, and a rabbi from 1861-1865. Several are in response to calls by President Jefferson Davis for national days of prayer, and illustrates the South's commitment to Christian values, aligning one's life and nation with God's plan, and the need for divine aid and mercy. These ministers cover, in their sermons and discourses, a wide range of subjects, from the cause of the War, differences between Yankees and Southerners, Negroes and their purpose among Southerners, the life and death of Confederate heroes, service to God, military service and Christian Faith, etc. This is an excellent book who wants to understand our Confederate ancestors, the C. S. A., and the South's Faith in God and victory in the face of implacable Northern invasion.
